Cryptotwits: The Podcast

HashPack on Hedera: Kraken Listing, Cross-Chain Swaps, and What’s Next (HashPack Card)


Listen Later

Welcome to the Cryptotwits Podcast — this episode is a lot of fun because we’ve got HashPack here, and if you’ve been in the weekly Cryptotwits space on X, Hash has basically been the “third member” helping keep the chaos going since around May 2025.

Our guest is Phil, the marketing lead for HashPack, who’s been in the Hedera Hashgraph ecosystem since 2021. Phil shares his path from a long career in food and beverage (chef, teacher, restaurant, travel) into Web3 — not through tech obsession, but through community energy, connection, and the “rush” of building.

We dig into what Hedera is (through the lens of people and culture, not jargon), why HashPack is more than a wallet, and how clarity around digital collectibles helps innovation move faster. We also cover Hedera’s Formula One collectibles rollout, why it’s a major onboarding beacon, and how HashPack makes staking and swapping stupidly smooth.

Big milestones: PAC, HashPack’s token, gets listed on Kraken, and Phil breaks down what that took (time, compliance, utility, and a “circular economy” tied to partners and in-app rewards). We close with what’s coming: HashPack Card, possible AI components, themes in the Hash Store, Pack the Mic (weekly), and a May 4th presence at HederaCon in Miami.
